Imprisoned by the Flesh (Poetry)

How did I get here… trapped in this hell?What is this new place… where I am forced to dwell?My soul was once free… celestial and divineNow one of the mortals… in this intricate designI’ve tried to be patient… with these preoccupationsWhile trying to fight the fleshly urge of temptationTrying to stay distant… from this corrupt nationSearching for the souls who are seeking salvationThis body is a prison… restricting what is sacredThese clothes are a mask… I long to be nakedI long to deny the pleasures of your moral landSinging the melodies of these satanic bandsI don’t belong here… why must this skin restrict me?Why let the suffering of the world afflict me?One day I will be free… rising to the heavensUntil then I’m trapped in this skin… as if I was a felon
